Rinny Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just curious because I am super new to the small business world in Cali which makes things interesting…Can I purchase materials like clay/raw materials tax free with a resale certificate even if I’m selling to a wholesale account? I feel like it’s an obvious question but I struggle with basic tax information. Appreciate any advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostClay Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Only the retail (end user) pays the taxes. I do see that you are in the great state of CA and I know they do some odd taxes like when you try to leave the state. https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/taxes-and-fees/use-tax.htm I only read about half of it but with it being a .ca.gov it should give answer all your questions.

JohnnyK Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Welcome to the Forum, Rinny. YES, you can get a resale certificate and buy your materials tax-free, charging your customers sales tax on the product unless they also have a resale cert. You will then have to pay the gov't the sales tax on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis depending on your level of taxable sales...
